Key result
3D TEE distinguishes rare tricuspid mitral valve causing severe regurgitation from isolated clefts.
Why the study?
Tricuspid mitral valve is a rare entity distinct from isolated clefts of the mitral leaflets and requires echocardiographic differentiation.
Case Report (n=1)
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography is a valuable imaging modality for distinguishing a rare tricuspid mitral valve from isolated clefts of the mitral leaflets.

Alerts clinicians to rare tricuspid mitral valve in severe MR differentials; leaves open systematic characterization of this anomaly.
Tricuspid mitral valve is a rare entity, distinct from isolated clefts of the mitral leaflets. Echocardiographically, it manifests as the presence of three commissures, separate papillary muscles and concordant atrioventricular or ventriculoarterial connections. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography helps distinguish the three cusps from clefts. Herein, we present a case of tricuspid mitral valve that led to severe mitral regurgitation.

Uysal et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Tricuspid mitral valve with severe mitral regurgitation (n=1). A rare case of a tricuspid mitral valve, distinguished from isolated clefts using three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography, led to severe mitral regurgitation.
